HOUSTON – With three games remaining in preseason for New Orleans – all over the next five days – the Pelicans’ two-time All-Star, Anthony Davis, will sit out Monday’s matchup against the Houston Rockets in the Toyota Center. Davis has appeared in every exhibition game so far and also has participated in every practice.
“He’s played in the games we’ve had and played some minutes, so we just thought this was a good time to just give him a break, an opportunity to rest,” Pelicans Coach Alvin Gentry said. “With the (regular) season coming up, you know how that goes, it’s never-ending, so this was a good opportunity to give him a break.
